Lots of work and feeling sick... glad to have Kombucha and soup!

Day 192

Tea and Harry - the perfect ending note on a sinus infected day.

Day 193

Wednesday, February 12

Cut out of work early today with some friends and headed to happy hour.  Then skyping night with some OUPS!  Such happy surprises for the day.

Day 194

Thursday, February 13

Kids didn't have school on actual Valentines Day so today I got a variety of silly Valentines.  It made me smile and giggle all day long.

Day 195

Friday, February 14

We had parent conferences all day long so after 12 hours of difficult conversations, I was looking forward to my date with Trader Joe.  It opened today 8 blocks from my apartment and I am so excited!  I thought it wouldn't be too crazy at 7:30 on Valentine's Day night... but I could not have been more wrong!  I gave up and went out to dinner at my local bar and made lots of funny friends.  It ended up being a chill/fun night, and  my Trader Joes date will wait for another day. 

Day 196

Saturday, February 15

Skiing at Copper (awesome day) and then this big house party in Breck with some new friends.  Lots of drinking, hot tubbing, flirting, friends, and snow.  Definitely a "I can't believe this is my everyday life" kind of day.  I love Colorado so much and the friends and experiences I've been lucky to find has been unbelievable.

Day 197

Sunday, February 16

65 degrees and sunny calls for a day in Washington Park with friends!  We played volleyball, football, soccer, etc. made friends, etc.  It made me soooo excited for spring/summer.  Also, crazy to think that this springy day was sandwiched with skiing!

Day 198

Monday, February 17

My friend had a free pass to Vail so we headed up for the day!  Vail is huge so I felt like I was on a grand adventure all day long.  It was SO much fun and I dropped into my first bowl which was pretty exciting!

Day 199

Tuesday, February 18

Classic Tuesday volleyball night!

Day 200

Wednesday, February 19

Laundry, work, and The Bachelor with Lauren.

Day 181

Friday, January 31

Broncos pep rally at school!

Broncos spirit week made our school feel festive and joyful all week long!

Day 182

Saturday, February 1

Awesome powder day!  In the past few weeks, the mountains got a few feet of snow.  I had lots of crazy falls, but just fell into fluffiness! Lauren got a day pass and got to come out with us!

Day 183

Sunday, February 2

Undoubtedly pathetic performance by the Broncos in the Super Bowl... but I still love them, and I had a blast at the watch party. The host has a bouldering wall in his basement which provided many post-game smiles! 

Day 184

Monday, February 3

Recently discovered the room for DVD workouts in my apartment gym!  Hello Jillian Michaels... time to get ready for bikini season?

Day 185

Tuesday, February 4

Love volleyball nights!

Day 186

Wednesday, February 5

Finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a bit ago so it was time to watch the movie!  I wish it was just an on-screen version of my imagination (with all accurate accounts), but it was a decent replacement. 

Day 187

Thursday, February 6

I had been wanting to try Vine Street Pub for a while so Pam and I met up for a drink.  Next to this picture it said "This makes me happy."  A fantastic description of the bar and night!  A few drinks later we were at Thin Man with our new friends getting in to a small-venue band performance.  It was one of those perfect one-thing-leads-to-another fun kind of nights. 

Day 188

Friday, February 7

Watching the Opening Ceremonies! I requested "Olympic wine" and it was Olympic indeed.

I love the Olympics!  I find it even more enjoyable now that I live in a place that has an active scene in winter sports!

Day 189

Saturday, February 8

Decided to spend a day in town with myself and Sal.  It was a good choice - I got rest, relaxed, was productive, went on a run in the park, made a Martha meal, and skyped with Brad!

Day 190

Monday, February 9

Kirsten and I planned on an ice skating adventure... but the sun had other plans and melted the ice!  So we made squirrels. Aren't they adorable?
